Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 It has been said that you can take a break from minocin for up to 4 weeks without losing ground. I take a weekend off every few weeks, and a week off every few months, to give my gut a break. I would think you would be fine either waiting for the Minocin, or taking a few of the generic until the Minocin arrives. What brand generic were you sent?

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks. I can't read the brand--unless it is Ranbaxy.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I believe Ranbaxy is a generic manufacturer, so that's probably correct. I'm not sure if it makes any difference if you are off the minocin for such a short period. I think you'll be fine whichever way you go.
